I find it difficult to believe that an Amazing Race will go into the second leg with only 8 teams. I suspect that that CBS's use of the term "quit" really translates to "2 teams have penalties of 4, 6 or 24 hours and 1 team is eliminated." We'll see.

As by quitting, I'm guessing they are either going to quit the sandcastle building task (not searching through/destroying) since if we saw a search through task, they would be knocking over sandcastles pretty easily. The outrigger canoe Pit Stop task seems possible. If Lucy & Emilia can pass their rowing and building as an unarchitectural duo, mostly anybody can.

The first time an Amazing Race shows skydiving it's a novelty. the 10th time it is just plain boring. I suspect that the reason it is so popular with World Race Productions is that tandem skydives are relatively inexpensive compared to other types of tasks. Perhaps around 2005, the last time I had a market price check, $100 was a reasonable amount in the U.S. to pay. Overseas, it should be less. Only one checkin attendant is needed and someone has to put into place the transportation system for after regaining the ground.
